Welcome to the DDSD training unit. We are made up of regional training coordinators in each region of New Mexico, a statewide technical assistance coordinator, and a statewide training coordinator, as well as the training unit manager. We offer trainings, support, resources and technical assistance to trainers, agencies, and others providing support to the people on each of the waivers operated by DDSD.
